Agricultural  (l^pportumties!  in  Jgeto  Cnglanb 

'TpHE  fundamental  cause  for  the  present  agitation  for  "economic  equality  for  agriculture"  is 
•*■  that  deflation  after  the  War  hit  agriculture  harder  than  it  did  other  industries  and  vocations. 
This  is  not  mere  opinion  or  resentment  as  some  city-dwellers  seem  to  think.  The  actual  fact  is 
that  the  purchasing  power  of  the  farmer's  dollar,  which  represents  the  results  of  his  year's  efforts 
in  contrast  with  that  of  other  workers  whose  products  he  has  to  buy,  fell  as  low  as  68  cents  at  one 
time.  It  is  now  gradually  coming  back,  but  is  still  too  low  to  give  agriculture  its  fair  share  of  the 
national  prosperity. 

Many  of  the  present  efforts  to  improve  the  situation  are  misguided.  The  solutions  offered 
would  fail  to  relieve  the  situation  if  put  into  operation.  This  is  because  they  are  directed  toward 
a  purely  local  situation  rather  than  a  national  policy.  But  others  have  a  very  definite  purpose 
back  of  them  to  decrease  the  spread  between  the  rising  costs  of  production  and  lowering  selling 
prices  of  farm  product?. 

From  any  of  these  which  may  be  put  into  successful  operation,  New  England  agriculture  is 
bound  to  receive  very  considerable  benefit.  The  present  status  is  that  we  are  competing  with 
products  of  other  states  for  a  market  which  is  overstocked.  It  is  the  intent  of  all  sound  legislation 
to  relieve  excessive  marketing  costs,  promote  more  rational  production  programs,  and  adapt 
agricultural  procedures  to  modern  industrial  needs  and  conditions. 

When  any  of  these  efforts  succeed,  Massachusetts  farmers  are  in  a  peculiarly  favorable  posi- 
tion to  profit  from  them.  Nearness  to  markets,  with  consequent  low  transportation  costs  and  the 
absence  of  excessively  inflated  land  values,  are  two  very  favorable  features  of  our  farming 
situation.  We  do  not  have  so  abundant  a  store  of  native  soil  fertility  to  draw  upon  as  do  the  mid- 
west prairie  farmers;  but  our  agriculture  is  already  finding  programs  for  production  which  success- 
fully meets  this  handicap.  These  programs  call  for  the  production  of  farm  crops  and  animal 
products  for  which  New  England  has  natural  advantages  which  permit  our  farmers  to  compete 
successfully  in  our  great  markets  with  similar  products  from  other  parts  of  the  country  or  world. 
These  are  usually  the  high-quality  and  high  priced  products  which  constitute  the  "cream  of  the 
market"  trade.  It  is  in  this  particular  type  of  products  that  the  largest  opportunity  for  profit  is 
to  be  found,  rather  than  in  the  so-called  "staple  foods"  to  which  the  farming  possibilities  of  large 
areas  of  the  West  are  limited.  Hence,  it  is  in  this  field  that  future  opportunities  for  New  England 
farmers  are  very  hopeful. 

With  general  conditions  improving,  I  look  for  favorable  days  ahead.  I  even  expect  to  see 
some  of  our  "abandoned  farms"  brought  back  into  production  again.  Also,  I  should  not  be  sur- 
prised to  see  the  trend  of  industrialization  of  the  State  lessened  at  least  to  the  extent  of  an  increas- 
ing rather  than  a  decreasing  percentage  of  rural  population. 

Seasonal  exchange  of  labor  between  agriculture  and  manufacturing  will  help  with  some  of  the 
labor  problems  of  both,  and  provide  better  labor  incomes  for  some  types  of  workers.  Decentraliza- 
tion of  city  dwelling,  resulting  both  from  city  congestion  and  from  the  possibility  of  rural  homes  for 
city  workers  now  that  good  roads  and  automobile  transportation  are  available,  will  help  to  improve 
rural  living  conditions. 

Altogether,  it  seems  to  me  that  the  outlook  for  New  England  agriculture  is  really  better  than 
it  has  been  for  the  past  fifty  years.  It  no  longer  has  to  compete  with  a  constantly  increasing  new 
agriculture  in  the  West,  on  newer  fertile  lands  and  with  more  favorable  climatic  conditions  for 
crop  production,  as  it  has  had  to  since  the  post-Civil  War  developments  in  the  West. 

Hence,  I  believe  that  the  young  man  who  is  now  preparing  for  intelligent  work  and  manage- 
ment on  a  farm  in  New  England  has  now  an  excellent  outlook  and  opportunity  for  a  highly  satis- 
factory future. 

RoscoE  W.  Thatcher 


Euto  of  tije  (iame 


I  THINK  we  sometimes  need  to  have  recalled  to  our  minds  how  much  the  spirit 
and  determination  of  a  man  have  to  do  with  his  ultimate  success  in  life.  Educa- 
tion itself  is  a  tremendous  lever  for  success,  but  the  dynamic  force  called  courage, 
determination,  grit,  or  what  you  will,  is  the  spark  which  releases  the  energy  in  the 
explosive  mixture  of  life  and  work.  I  think  the  two  terms  cannot  well  be  separated 
if  we  consider  the  importance  of  joy  in  and  love  for  one's  task.  True  work  must  be  a 
Uveable,  loveable  part  of  a  man's  existence  if  the  finest  satisfactions  are  to  be  secured. 
Neither  can  the  best  work  be  done  without  a  zest  in  the  task,  a  spirit  of  enjoyment 
and  pleasure  in  the  job  confronting  us.  And  right  here  comes  the  art  in  the  job, 
the  true  culture  and  appreciation  that  come  from  doing  the  task,  no  matter  how 
humble  or  routine,  just  as  well  as  is  humanly  possible,  and  with  a  professional  under- 
standing of  the  skill  and  craftsmanship  which  you  have  employed  in  the  work. 
Such  results,  such  satisfying  reactions,  do  not  come  to  the  unskilled,  untrained 
worker. 

And  so,  to  you  men  and  women  who  are  completing  your  two  years  of  training 
with  us  this  June,  I  want  to  urge  the  importance  of  that  age-old  cry  of  the  Psalmist: 
"Create  in  me  a  clean  heart,  O  God; 
And  renew  a  right  spirit  within  me." 

A  recent  article  in  the  press  summarizes  nicely  the  elements  of  training  for  the 
best  citizenship. 

"The  most  desirable  citizen  will  have  good  health  and  also  the  habit  of  observ- 
ing the  laws  of  health ;  a  taste  for  sports  and  the  'safety  habit' ;  besides  the  learning 
of  his  country,  he  will  desire  to  enlarge  his  knowledge  of  the  world.  He  will  seek  at 
least  such  an  elementary  acquaintance  with  the  sciences  as  will  enable  him  to  under- 
stand fairly  well  the  phenomena  and  machinery  of  the  world  he  lives  in ;  he  will  have 
command  of  the  common  arts.  The  men  will  have  certain  manual  skills  and  the 
women  others,  but  both  will  have  the  ability  to  dig  in  the  dirt  and  to  plant  and  cul- 
tivate vegetables,  flowers,  and  fruit." 

"This  most  desirable  citizen  will  have  a  vocation  intelligently  chosen  and  ade- 
quately prepared  for  and  a  character  that  will  insure  the  permanence  of  his  social 
duties,  first  to  the  family  and  then  to  the  State,  including  an  obligation  to  be  in- 
formed, to  vote  and  to  accept  office  when  called  upon  to  do  so." 

What  has  your  education  here  given  you  to  meet  these  standards?  Has  it, 
like  the  well-coached  athlete,  helped  you  to  better  run  your  race  of  life? 

Roland  H.  Vebbeck.

/^UR  two  years  on  the  campus  have  terminated.  To  most 
^^  of  us  they  have  been  two  years  of  extreme  joy,  pleasure, 
and  good  fellowship.  Perhaps  not  all  of  us  have  fully 
appreciated  all  that  has  been  done  for  us  during  our  stay  here 
and  if  this  annual.  The  Shorthorn,  will  help  us  to  remember 
those  who  have  so  untiringly  strived  to  help  us,  its  purpose 
will  have  been  accomphshed.  It  is  with  mingled  feelings  of 
joy  and  sorrow  that  we  approach  the  last  days  of  our  two 
years  stay  at  M.  A.  C.  and  as  we  are  about  to  start  on  a  new 
journey  in  life,  we  hope  that  we  will  be  able  to  live  worthy 
lives,  lives  that  will  honor  those  that  have  stood  by  us  so 
faithfully  during  the  two  years,  and  that  we  will  be  able  to 
carry  the  standard  of  Stockbridge  to  new  heights.

who  do  not  know  him,  but  his  real  friends  tell  us

He  sure  keeps  it  in  good  condition  and  believes  in

ing records  on  this  Vic  or  else  trying  out  new  ones 
at  the  music  store.  He  is  quiet  sometimes  (when 
asleep).  He  bursts  into  his  room  at  the  "Frat"  like 
a  lion  but  usually  goes  out  like  a  lamb  after  his  room- 
mates get  through  with  him  (?). 

Women  are  not  dominant  in  "Skip's"  life  at  pres- 
ent, but  he  seems  to  have  a  weakness  for  them  some- 
where in  his  heart  (We  wonder  why). 

"Skip"  stands  high  in  his  class,  and  when  it  comes 
to  flowers,  the  boy  is  right  there. 

His  ambition  is  to  own  a  greenhouse  some  day.

Dick  is  always  around  when  there  is  a  good  discus-

If  Prof.  Packard  had  kept  his  mind  on  this  particu-

Ralph  put  on  his  rubbers  with  the  first  drop  of  rain 
last  fall  and  for  all  we  know  he  may  wear  them  to 
bed  as  he  has  never  appeared  without  them  since. 
But  "Brownie,"  is  like  that,  always  considering  the 
sober  side  of  life.  However,  he  does  have  his 
moments,  so  to  speak,  much  the  same  as  everybody 
else  does.  When  Ralph  comes  out  with  one  of  his 
sudden  outbursts  which  reminds  one  of  an  extremely 
heated  sermon  at  church  everyone  is  forced  to  sit 
up  and  take  notice,  Ralph  generally  says  something 
worth  listening  to.  His  particular  "hobby"  the 
past  two  terms  seems  to  have  been,  "Plant  Insects 
and  Diseases."  He  was  completely  wrapped  up  in 
this  subject,  he  even  discussed  it  with  the  Director. 
Ralph  is  really  an  excellent  student  and  a  good  all

'^FoT  thy  sake,  Tobacco,  I'd  do  anything  but  die."

Despite  various  impressions  that  we  might  have 
of  "Sam,"  the  fact  remains  that  he  is  really  a  quiet 
sort  of  fellow  that  attends  to  his  own  business. 
"Sam's"  big  job  this  winter  was  to  keep  the  enemy 
puck  from  entering  the  Stockbridge  cage,  and  while 
so  doing  he  was  unfortunate  enough  to  be  the  target 
of  a  flying  puck  just  after  the  last  game  of  the  season 
which  resulted  in  a  broken  nose  for  him.  "Sam" 
has  proven  himself  a  capable  waiter  by  holding  the 
job  all  year.  "Sam"  really  knows  his  grasses  and 
with  such  a  bright  outlook  in  life  he  is  sure  to 
succeed.

would  only  tell  us  how  he  can  fool,  or  sleep,  in  every

doubtedly was  naturally  studious,  and  probably 
burnt  much  "midnite  oil"  while  in  high  school. 
According  to  "Joe"  he  has  managed  to  keep  "Cas-

that  he  burnt  plenty  of  midnite  oil  in  the  old  Essex, 
during  the  past  year.  As  head  of  the  refreshment

One  drawback  of  graduation  is  that  we  shall 
probably  loose  such  good  friends  as  Sam.  He  is 
quiet — yes,  but  who  wants  to  talk  and  giggle  all  the 
time?  We  have  always  found  "Sam"  a  wilhng 
worker,  especially  in  his  studies.  No  teacher  has

ever  been  late  in  handing  in  work.

a  firm  believer  in  the  old  adage  that  clothes  do  not 
make  the  man,  but  at  least  the  class  showed  discre- 
tion in  not  electing  him  treasurer,  as  he  might  have 
been  strutting  around  in  a  new  outfit,  and  smoking

he  has  shot  a  par  for  his  particular  course.  And  for

we  are  inclined  to  believe  there  is  a  great  attraction 
elsewhere.  His  trip  to  New  York  brings  to  us  many 
interesting  tales. 

Seriously,  Mike  is  a  first  class  pomologist.  He 
has  done  some  very  fine  things  on  his  orchard  in

him  in  his  line.

generally  in  the  vicinity  of  "Kelly  Sq."  or  in  Hadley. 
Now  friends  do  not  think  he  was  out  the  night  before 
his  picture  was  taken,  it's  only  natural.  Duke  is 
quite  some  boy  at  that  and  will  swear  if  provoked

it  will  have  to  be  a  woman,  for  no  mere  man  is

members  of  the  fairer  sex  remarking,  "What  a  cute

flattering  remarks  fall  on  mute  ears  for  "Jud"  is  as 
true  as  steel  to  "Marie,"  from  Agawam.  "Jud"  is 
majoring  in  "Horticulture."  He  is  a  reckless  happy- 
go-lucky  sort  of  a  fellow,  one  that  gets  by  with  the 
minimum  amount  of  studying.  Perhaps  some  day 
he  will  be  running  his  own  nursery.  There  is  only 
one  thing  that  can  prevent  him  from  succeeding  and 
that  is  "Women."  We  also  expect  to  see  "Jud"

He  was  a  member  of  the  football  squad  all  the

"Teeter"     "Pat"

Placement  training  certainly  did  a  great  deal  for 
"Teeter"  in  more  ways  than  one.  He  gained  more 
confidence  and  experience  in  six  months  than  most 
of  us  get  in  six  years.  His  trusty  pipe  which 
is  going  at  every  opportunity  is  one  of  the  best  ex- 
amples. However,  it  did  not  give  him  the  big  he- 
man  appetite  that  we  had  hoped  for,  yet  he  still 
exists  and  grows  fat  on  the  smallest  amount  of  food 
of  any  member  of  the  class.  Buttered  toast  and  a 
glass  of  milk  is  as  filling  to  him,  as  a  boiled  dinner 
is  to  the  most  of  us.  He's  our  example  of  a  perfect 
boarder. 

That  he  still  does  possess  more  or  less  of  his  bash- 
ful nature  is  exemplified  by  the  fact  that  he  has  been 
endeavoring  for  two  years  to  get  up  sufficient  courage 
to  make  himself  known  to  a  certain  member  of  the 
fair  sex  in  town.  No  progress  has  been  reported  as 
this  goes  to  press  and  it  begins  to  look  as  tho  he  will 
walk  out  of  her  life  a  perfect  stranger,  unless  violent 
action  is  taken  before  the  middle  of  June.  So  our 
advice  is  to  buck  up  "Teeter,"  light  the  old  pipe  and 
say  "howdy"!  We  certainly  wish  "Teeter"  com- 
plete success  in  all  of  his  undertakings.

"Let"  is  one  of  those  fellows  that  believes  in  the 
saying  "Love  'em  and  leave  them."  He  sure  has 
broken  plenty  of  hearts  around  this  campus  and 
"Onionville"  but  we  think  some  one  in  Brockton 
has  really  captured  him  for  good. 

Huh?  '  What's  that?  Get  the  joke?  These  are 
a  few  of  his  favorite  expressions  perhaps  that  is  why 
he  knows  his  carnations  from  a-z.  As  yet  he  has 
not  learned  how  to  go  thru  a  "hat  rush"  without 
being  none  the  worse  for  the  experience.  "Let" 
was  the  highest  scorer  in  the  fall  track  meet,  he  also 
scores  high  in  hash  slinging.  Let's  hope  his  ambi- 
tions are  realized.

This  loyal  son  of  Worcester  hits  the  trail  for  home 
every  week-end ,  but  from  little  we  have  seen  we  have 
reason  to  believe  that  he  does  not  waste  his  time. 
His  Monday  morning  dashes  back  in  his  buggy 
startle  us,  but  he  has  always  arrived  on  time  even  if 
he  does  sleep  through  several  of  his  classes.  Ben 
has  phrases  of  his  own  and  he  can  describe  and 
illustrates  incidents  to  perfection.  He  has  referred 
to  withdrawing  at  the  request  of  the  Director  since 
his  arrival,  but  he  is  still  with  us,  the  local  boy  has 
made  good.  "Disgruntled,"  is  Ben's  own  and 
favorite  word  and  it  shows  that  he  really  did  absorb 
something  while  pursuing  Horticulture.  We  all  join 
in  extending  to  him  our  most  sincere  wishes  for 
future  success.

Who  doesn't  know  Mac?  Please  don't  think

but  study.  Nothing  of  the  kind'  Whoever  knew 
Mac  to  keep  out  of  the  fun  because  he  had  to  study? 
No  one  will  deny  that  Mac  is  one  of  our  pepiest  boys

means  hard  work,  and  hard  play  and  a  kindly  spirit 
towards  one's  neighbor.  Mac  always  has  been  a 
good  student  and  now  graduates  well  up  among  us. 
When  success  raps  at  your  door,  Mac,  never  forget 
the  dear  friends  who  once  predicted  your  happy 
fortune.

When  "Rosie"  arrived  here  he  soon  became  ac- 
quainted with  "Duke"  Hart  and  "Lord"  Byron. 
This  trio  at  once  consolidated,  forming  a  combina- 
tion many  times  accused,  but  yet  to  be  convicted. 
Enter  upon  the  scene  of  action — Mr.  O'Grady — 
expert  in  animal  nutrition,  pugilist,  toreador,  and 
Irishman.  "Rosie"  has  a  wonderful  brain,  but  like 
all   masterminds  his   methods   baffle   us   at   times. 

One  night  he  took  "Duke"  and  "Lord"  sleigh 
riding.  Result — "Lord"  rode  the  horse  home  bare- 
back while  "Rosie"  and  "Duke"  walked.  If  Animal 
Husbandry  gives  Rosie  a  fair  deal  the  fairer  sex  have 
then  his  success  is  well  assured  and  we  wish  him  well.

"Peab"  is  the  kind  of  a  fellow  who  does  not  say 
much,  but  when  he  does  speak  there  is  golden  com- 
mon sense  in  every  word  and  real  deep  thought  too. 
Because  of  his  quietness  he  always  had  the  advan- 
tage over  the  fellows  at  the  boarding  house,  for  he 
would  eat  while  the  rest  talked. 

For  a  long  time  "Peab"  disappeared  every  other 
Friday  night  and  we  finally  ran  him  down  one  night 
and  found  him  at  the  Grange,  where  he  had  a  special 
attraction  of  his  own. 

We  have  heard  that  "Peab"  has  a  great  weakness 
for  Sculptury,  and  generally  carries  a  ladder  with 
him  while  studying  it. 

Peab  is  bound  to  succeed  with  his  quiet  straight

Art  is  a  very  quiet  appearing  fellow,  but  all  who 
know  him,  will  say  that  he  is  very  much  the  opposite 
when  a  good  time  is  too  be  had. 

He  has  done  some  good  work  with  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.

was  one  of  the  unlucky  students  who  had  a  Saturday 
class  thru  one  term,  but  he  did  not  accept  it  without 
protest.  However  they  still  have  the  Saturday 
class. 

Among  other  things  Art  is  one  of  the  leading  meat

whatever  work  he  takes  up  after  leaving  school.

what  it  is  that  Roy  mumbles  to  the  Profs,  at  the  end 
of  every  class.  He  is  always  right  there.  The  Hash 
House  will  lose  a  good  waiter  when  Roy  leaves,  but

Ruffled  hair; 

A  hesitation  step; 

Try  to  catch  her,  and  she  isn't  there; 

Lots  of  pep. 

Likely  mind. 

A  boyish  smile. 

Win  her  friendship  if  you  can,  you'll  find 

It's  worth  while. 
Agnes  is  our  sporting  member.  She  captains  the 
girls  at  Basketball,  and  is  also  found  on  the  Soccer 
field.  Whether  dashing  madly  over  the  grass  will 
help  in  "landscaping"  we  do  not  know.  She  shoots 
hikes,  dances,  and  barely  escaped  destruction  in 
the  motors  class  last  year.  She  has  been  our  Secre- 
tary for  two  years.  We  are  sure  of  a  pleasant  party 
when  she  is  on  the  committee,  and  her  hearty 
chuckle  would  liven  the  dullest  meeting.  We  hope 
that  she  will  do  wonders  when  she  leaves  us  in  June.

Mere  words  cannot  do  j  ustice  to  the  record  which 
Fernald  has  made  during  his  years  at  Amherst. 
Even  the  fact  that  he  hails  from  Flatwood,  Pa. 
cannot  be  held  against  him,  as  he  has  established 
himself  in  the  hearts  of  all  lovers  of  a  fighting  spirit 
and  true  sportsmanship. 

Besides  his  huge  towering  frame,  we  will  always 
remember  him  for  his  unassuming  nature  and  genial- 
ity, qualities  which  made  him  a  friend  worth  claim- 
ing. 

A  jovial  and  loyal  companion  with  a  pleasant 
greeting  for  everyone — that's  Fernald!

"Dick" 

Windsor,  Vt.  Animal  Husbandry 

Kolony  Klub.  Animal  Husbandry  Club.  Agron-

The  little  village  of  Cornish,  N.  H.,  feeling  the 
need  of  some  information  about  ths  outside  world 
and  the  best  method  of  raising  "corn  and  taters" 
picked  Tracy  for  its  representative. 

So  in  the  fall  of  1928  this  youth  from  the  wide 
open  spaces  became  Dick  to  his  buddies  and  has 
remained  so  ever  since. 

His  support  of  outside  activities  as  well  as  getting 
good  marks  has  been  noticeable.  We  feel  sure  that 
when  Dick  returns  to  Cornish,  they  will  learn  that 
he  has  not  been  away  in  vain.

"Jawn"  may  not  be  a  "bally  Englishman"  but  at 
times  his  accent  says  otherwise.  He'll  let  us  call 
him  anything  so  we're  not  afraid.  For  diversion, 
John  is  a  theoretical  athlete,  but  is  not  content  to 
leave  the  active  side  of  sport  to  the  crowd.  His 
daily  route  never  changes  between  bed,  Wildner's 
"hash  house,"  and  his  recitation  rooms.  John  has 
"a  plentiful  lack  of  wit"  but  is  ever  quick  to  laugh 
when  anything  is  sprung. 

Good  luck  to  you  John  and  always  keep  the  cool 
head  you  showed  when  locked  in  "Lord's"  room.

Problems  are  Craig's  hobby,  he  really  enjoys  a 
good  "math"  or  R.  Soc.  problem.  But  there  are 
exceptions  to  every  rule,  this  exception  was  in  Farm 
Management.  Craig  enjoys  "Hort  Man."  He 
certainly  knows  his  applesauce.  In  the  fall  term 
Craig  ran  the  preambling  Taxi. 

The  residue  of  Craig's  placement  is  "down 
Drews"  (ask  any  pom  major).  Let's  hope  his  future 
is  as  rosy  as  his  apples.

"Link"  joined  us  during  the  winter  of  our  fresh-

a  regular  attendant  at  the  Animal  Husbandry  and

football  and  fraternity  basketball. 

Besides  all  these  accomplishments  "Link"  is  quite 
active  "socially."  No  one  knows  who  the  Abbey's 
favorite  "him"  is  but  we  dare  say  "Link's"  name  is 
written  several  times  in  one  of  the  fair  inmates

We  all  wish  "Link"  the  best  of  success  and  good

Keith  hails  from  New  York  and  from  the  first 
year  until  his  last  he  has  been  a  good  friend  to  all 
that  have  known  him.  He  is  majoring  in  "Floricul- 
ture" and  has  made  a  success  of  it  so  far.  He  seems 
to  have  made  a  hit  with  the  co-eds,  but  he  prefers  a 
certain  young  lady  in  one  of  our  offices  to  our  co  eds. 
He  has  a  time  for  studying,  but  he  certainly  likes 
social  functions.  We  wish  him  loads  of  success  for 
the  future  and  hope  to  hear  from  him  again.

The  natives  of  the  little  hamlet  of  Dalton  wept 
bitter  tears  as  this  son  left  for  the  bright  lights  of 
Amherst  in  the  fall  of  1928.  However,  they  were 
consoled  by  the  thought  that  some  day  he  would 
return  as  a  great  animal  husbandryman,  to  put  up 
model  barns  and  raise  better  cows. 

Besides  living  up  to  their  anticipation  Ed  has 
made  a  host  of  friends,  through  his  happy  disposi- 
tion, willingness  to  help,  and  earnestness  of  purpose. 

Ed's  two  years  here  represent  the  aggregate  of 
days  of  good  fellowship  and  pleasant  memories.

Woodward  joined  us  last  fall  as  a  senior  and  we  all 
feel  that  Taunton,  Mass.  made  a  fine  contribution 
to  our  class. 

"Woody"  is  seldom  seen  on  campus  outside  of 
class  hours  but  we  feel  sure  his  time  is  not  wasted. 
We  have  all  heard  it  said  that  still  waters  run  deep 
and  "Woody"  is  certainly  an  example  for  although 
he  is  very  quiet  he  always  has  an  answer  ready  to 
any  question  a  professor  may  ask  him. 

Good  luck,  "Woody,"  we  wish  you  the  best  there 
is  in  life.

Ernest  came  to  Stockbridge  a  fair  complexioned,

"Laugh  and  grow  fat"  applies  strictly  to  Ernest. 

He  is  one  of  the  popular  men  of  his  class  as  shown 
by  his  numerous  activites.  He  is  quite  musical  at 
times  and  toots  a  mean  trumpet.  As  to  the  Glee 
Club  he  adds  perfection.  He  used  to  be  a  quiet 
fellow  until  the  fair  co-eds  joined  the  Glee  Club. 
Ernest  is  a  friend  indeed  at  all  times,  although  his

"Zim"  is  rather  a  quiet  person  on  campus  or  in 
class.  He  has  much  responsibility  this  year  and 
carries  on  just  as  well  as  ever. 

He  doesn't  have  much  to  do  with  the  fairer  sex, 
although  he  is  liked  by  all  of  them  who  have  the 
good  fortune  of  knowing  him.  However  we  would 
like  to  know  who  writes  him  all  the  letters  from 
Jamaica  Plains. 

So  far  as  we  know  "Zim"  has  the  honor  of  wear- 
ing the  largest  shoe  on  the  campus.  But  he  is  well 
balanced  because  he  also  has  a  big  heart,  ask  his 
friends. 

"Zim"  sure  knows  his  flowers  and  he  will  probably 
be  running  a  greenhouse  of  his  own  one  of  these  days.

had  an  awful  good  excuse  during  the  fall  to  get  a 
day  off.  All  he  put  on  his  excuse  card  was,  "I  had 
to  strip  tobacco,"  and  things  were  O.  K.  with  the

DURING  our  two  years'  stay  here  at  M.  A.  C.  our  original  number  of  Classmates 
has  slowly  diminished.  Many  of  these  Ex-members  did  not  leave  on  account 
of  failure  in  their  studies,  but  other  reasons  such  as  illness,  lack  of  funds,  and  secur- 
ing of  positions  made  their  withdrawal  necessary. 

This  page  is  dedicated  to  those  members  of  1930  that  were  at  one  time  a  part 
of  our  class,  and  whom  we  all  missed  upon  their  departure.

HISTORY  is  a  narration,  dealing  with  the  events  which  characterize  the  progress 
of  man  thru  the  ages.  It  deals  not  only  with  governments,  wars  and  con- 
quests, commerce  and  politics,  but  also  with  groups  of  men  and  women,  and  their 
relationships  and  activities.  We,  the  Class  of  '30,  have  made  history.  We  have 
met  with  and  triumphed  over  problems  inherent  in  the  athletic,  social,  and  intellec- 
tual life  of  a  college.  It  is  with  pride  and  yet  with  feelings  of  regret  and  remorse, 
that  we  look  back  upon  the  indelible  years  spent  here  at  Stockbridge.  Years  of 
concentrated  effort  and  study  yet  blended  with  inestimable  friendships  and  pleasant 
associations,  never  to  be  forgotten. 

A  group  of  timid  freshmen,  we  gathered  on  the  campus,  in  the  fall  of  '28. 
Homesick  were  we  and  looked  down  upon  by  the  lordly  seniors.  We  were  obliged 
to  subject  ourselves  to  certain  regulations  laid  down  by  the  seniors,  the  most  evident 
being  the  one  of  wearing  blue  caps.  However,  we  soon  became  acquainted  with  the 
members  of  our  own  class  and  with  the  seniors  thru  banquets  and  receptions. 
Many  of  us  were  fortunate  enough  to  be  given  the  opportunity  to  pledge  ourselves 
either  to  one  of  the  fraternities  or  the  sorority,  which  created  a  new  and  very  inter- 
esting experience  for  many  of  us.  The  first  term  passed  by  quickly  and  the  second 
even  more  quickly  and  we  were  thrust  out  among  strangers  into  a  new  life,  placement 
training. 

Many  thrills  and  adventures  were  in  store  for  us  during  placement.  We  made 
new  acquaintances  and  friendships  and  gained  much  valuable  information.  But 
nevertheless  we  looked  forward  to  our  senior  year  at  Stockbridge. 

When  October  came,  we  once  more  gathered  on  the  campus.  Our  football 
team,  Ed  Hill,  captain,  had  arrived  several  days  before  us,  and  were  well  along  in 
practice,  for  a  successful  year.  Over  a  hundred  freshmen  joined  our  forces  and 
the  fraternities  opened  their  rushing  season.  Aside  from  this,  things  went  fairly 
smooth,  with  Ken  Leonard  going  home  week-ends  regularly  for  some  unknown 
reason — we  think  there  must  be  some  great  attraction  in  Abington.  In  November 
we  gave  a  reception  to  the  freshmen  at  the  Mem  Building,  in  the  form  of  a  dance. 
They  returned  it  in  the  winter  term. 

During  the  second  term,  basketball  and  hockey  held  our  attention.  Toward 
the  end  of  the  term  the  Interfraternity  dance  was  held,  which  was  a  great  success. 
We  soon  bade  farewell  to  the  freshmen  wishing  them  luck  on  placement. 

Spring  approached  and  our  last  term  came  into  view.  With  spring  came  base- 
ball and  tennis, — and  of  course  the  new  moon  was  beautiful.  An  honor  system  was 
started,  so  that  those  whose  scholastic  record  was  high  could  do  special  work,  during 
the  spring  term,  along  lines  in  which  they  were  especially  interested.  The  term  was 
filled  with  various  activities  and  before  we  realized  it,  commencement  was  upon  us. 

Now  we,  the  Class  of  '30,  are  gathered  together  for  nearly  the  last  time.  Our 
years  of  study  and  enjoyment  are  behind  us  and  the  doorway  to  the  future  is  open 
before.  We  are  well  prepared  to  combat  the  obstacles  which  shall  ever  confront 
us  as  we  go  down  the  pathway  of  life.  But  the  ideals  and  inspirations  we  have 
received  here  will  forever  remain  within  us,  and  shall  we  never  lose  the  spirit  which 
has  been  ours  here  at  "Aggie."  g    jj    Worthington.

Dedicated  to  the  Class  of  'ji 

We  amble  slowly  to  the  pit, 
Our  faces  stamped  with  awe, 
For  we  are  to  come  in  contact 
With  that  demon.  Business  Law. 

We  are  fed  on  definitions 

And  words  fit  to  crack  the  jaw; 

But  our  troubles  have  only  just  begun 

In  dear  old  Business  Law. 

On  Thursday,  we  went  to  the  pit. 
And  on  the  board  we  saw — 
"Tomorrow  there  will  be  a  quizz" 
In  good  old  Business  Law. 

So  that  is  why  we  tear  our  hair 
And  rub  our  knuckles  raw. 
For  Napoleon  met  his  Waterloo, 
And  we've  met  Business  Law.

''  I  ^WO  happy  banquets  were  the  foundation  of  our  work  and  play  at  Stockbridge. 
-'-  On  Friday,  October  4,  we  had  the  memorable  "get  acquainted"  reception. 
Our  class  was  well  represented. 

In  December  the  Seniors  gave  a  dance  for  the  Freshmen  and  revelers  danced 
until  the  late  hour  of  11.00  o'clock. 

We  started  off  the  month  of  March  by  giving  the  Seniors  a  dance  in  the  Me- 
morial Building.  Both  classes  had  a  large  "turnout"  and,  speaking  on  the  whole, 
the  dance  was  a  splendid  success. 

Now  we  are  looking  forward  to  our  placement  training  and  the  return  to 
Stockbridge  as  all-knowing  Seniors.

'HpHE  end  of  placement  training  found  twenty  of  us  back  to  carry  on  the  work 
-*-  of  previous  years. 

Immediately  we  began  preparing  for  the  coming  year.  Smokers  were  held  and 
bids  sent  out.  We  were  successful  in  having  forty-six  bids  accepted;  fourteen 
seniors  and  thirty-two  freshmen.  We  were  then  confronted  with  the  problem  of 
initiation.  The  new  class  of  candidates  seemed  to  be  a  large  number  for  such  a 
small  number  of  initiators  to  handle.  But  with  everyone  working  hard,  it  went  over 
with  creditable  success. 

About  midnight  of  that  eventful  evening  Hampshire  County  roads  were  full  of 
hikers,  going  in  all  but  the  right  direction.  However,  the  following  morning  found 
all  initiates  back  in  time  for  chapel  exercises.  Shortly  after  initiation  was  over  a 
welcoming  banquet  was  given  to  the  initiates  at  the  Lord  Jeffery. 

Time  passed  swiftly  and  in  the  late  fall  a  formal  House  Party  was  held  at  the 
Women's  Club.  Music  was  furnished  by  the  Silvery  Slipper  Orchestra  of  Spring- 
field under  the  management  of  "Bus"  Aseltine. 

The  beginning  of  the  winter  term  found  us  in  the  midst  of  the  second  rushing 
season.     We  were  successful  in  getting  one  more  senior  and  four  freshmen. 

We  received  notice  during  this  term  that  the  present  quarters  of  Alpha  Tau 
Gamma  would  not  be  available  after  this  year.  Action  was  immediately  taken, 
committees  were  appointed  and  plans  for  next  year  were  drawn  up.  This  coming 
fall  the  seniors  will  have  the  pleasure  of  living  in  the  new  Alpha  Tau  Gamma  House. 

With  keen  competition  from  Kolony  Klub,  in  the  tournament  which  consisted 
of  Bridge,  Basketball  and  Bowling,  Alpha  Tau  Gamma  was  the  victor  for  the  second 
time. 

Following  the  tournament  a  very  enjoyable  smoker  was  given  to  us  by  Kolony 
Club. 

Next  came  the  Interfraternity  dance,  held  in  the  Memorial  Building,  a  dance 
which  will  be  long  remembered  by  all  of  its  participants. 

As  the  time  approached  when  the  freshmen  must  leave  for  placement  training, 
a  Farewell  Banquet  was  given  them  and  at  that  time  officers  were  elected  for  the 
coming  year,  they  are:  Thomas  Burke,  president;  Richard  Lewis,  vice  president; 
Ralph  Henry,  secretary;  Earnest  Peterson,  treasurer. 

With  the  coming  of  spring  our  fraternity  life  here  on  the  campus  grew  shorter. 

Our  Fraternity  Prom  was  the  last  social  event  of  the  yar,  and  it  was  hailed  as 
one  of  the  most  successful  dances  ever  held  in  the  history  of  Alpha  Tau  Gamma.

THAT  wonderful  experience  which  we  call  fraternity  life  has  been  a  big  factor  in 
our  life  here  on  the  campus.  No  one  of  us,  who  has  had  this  enjoyable  and  help- 
ful experience,  would  ever  cast  it  aside,  if  it  were  possible  to  live  again  these  two 
years  at  "Aggie."  As  we  look  back,  we  realize  our  college  days  would  not  be  com- 
plete without  this  experience.  To  many,  it  has  meant  a  turning  point  in  life;  it  has 
given  them  new  ideals,  and  inspiration  to  accomplish  greater  things. 

Many  events  marked  the  history  of  our  two  years  in  Kolony  Klub.  Initiation, 
not  as  enjoyable  when  we  went  through  it  but  most  interesting  when  we  put  our 
freshmen  through  it;  banquets,  scenes  of  brotherhood  and  fraternal  spirit  which 
will  remain  with  us  throughout  our  lives;  house  dances,  where  we  spent  many 
happy  hours;  interfraternity  competition  where  we  won  and  lost  with  good  spirit. 
All  these  afforded  fuel  for  the  unquenchable  fire, — Kolony  Klub  spirit.

"npHE  new  Physical  Education  Building  which  is  soon  to  be  erected  has  been  made 
-*-  possible  by  the  generosity  and  cooperative  efforts  of  the  alumni  of  the  College 
and  School,  trustees,  faculty,  and  friends.  They  have  contributed  for  this  building 
$115,000  to  which  is  to  be  added  an  appropriation  by  the  State  of  $172,500,  making 
a  total  of  $287,500  available  for  construction  and  equipment.  Thus,  what  President 
Thatcher  described  at  the  beginning  of  the  campaign  as  "the  outstanding  need  of 
the  College  at  the  present  time,"  is  about  to  be  met. 

The  new  building  will  be  located  on  the  site  between  the  Drill  Hall  and  the 
Paige  Veterinary  Laboratory.  This  location  will  place  the  building  convenient  to 
the  Athletic  Field,  Memorial  Hall  and  the  Drill  Hall.  This  is  important  since  the 
Drill  Hall  main  floor  and  locker  rooms  will  then  be  given  over  to  the  girls  exclusively 
as  a  gymnasium  and  the  swimming  pool  in  the  new  building  will  be  convenient  for 
their  use. 

The  building  is  planned  in  two  distinct  sections.  The  front  section  is  a  two 
story  brick  structure  facing  210  feet  on  Lincoln  Avenue  with  a  depth  of  50  feet. 
Attached  at  the  rear  is  a  dirt  floor  recration  hall  180  feet  long,  north  and  south,  by 
150  feet,  east  and  west.  The  first  floor  of  the  front  section  contains  main  locker 
room,  supply  room,  basket  room  for  locker  system,  shower  room,  toilets,  laundry, 
janitor's  room,  swimming  pool  30  feet  by  75  feet,  and  a  women's  dressing  room  for 
swimmers. 

The  main  entrance  is  to  the  second  floor,  central  section,  of  the  front  building. 
This  floor  contains  three  team  dressing  rooms  with  room  for  treatment  of  injuries, 
shower  and  toilet  rooms,  all  in  the  south  end.  In  the  center  is  a  commodious  lobby, 
trophy  room,  offices  for  the  department  staff,  and  public  rest  rooms  for  men  and  for 
women.  The  north  wing  contains  an  office  for  the  Medical  Supervisor  of  the 
Student  Health  Service,  examination  and  corrective  exercise  room,  photographic 
room,  class  room,  faculty  dressing  room  with  showers,  and  one  hand  ball  court. 

The  dirt  floor  area  at  the  rear  will  have  a  cinder  track  12  feet  wide  around  the 
outside  boundary  with  a  12  foot  flat  balcony  directly  above  the  track.  Each  winter 
a  temporary  board  floor  48  feet  by  96  feet  will  be  placed  across  this  area  near  one  end 
for  basketball.  Spectators  can  be  seated  both  in  the  balcony  and  in  bleachers  set 
on  the  dirt  floor  at  the  sides  of  the  playing  court.  This  basketball  floor  and  seats 
will  occupy  less  than  one  half  the  enclosed  area  thus  leaving  ample  space  for  other 
types  of  recreation  and  games.  After  March  1st  the  whole  area  will  be  available 
for  early  preparation  for  the  spring  out-of-door  program. 

This  plan  is  the  result  of  a  study  of  a  large  number  of  college  physical  education 
plants  throughout  the  country,  and  embodies  the  most  up-to-date  and  useful 
features  found  in  these  buildings. 

It  should  make  it  possible  to  overcome  the  limitations  of  the  New  England  cli- 
mate and  provide. facilities  for  a  year  around  well  balanced  program  of  physical 
education  for  all  students.

•npHE  first  call  for  football  candidates  was  about  a  week  before  school  opened. 
-*-  About  twenty-two  men  reported,  mostly  freshmen.  With  the  opening  of  school 
the  squad  was  doubled  with  many  prospects  for  a  good  team.  There  were  only 
three  lettermen  that  reported  for  Coach  Ball  to  build  his  team  around.  They 
were  Captain  Hill,  Arne  Oksanen  and  Harold  Durkin.  There  were  other  seniors 
that  had  some  experience  in  the  games  the  year  before  but  had  not  played  enough 
to  win  their  letter. 

Richmond  Barr  reported  as  manager  and  did  a  creditable  job. 


Palmer  High  0,  Stockbridge  7 
Our  season  opened  on  Oct.  12  with  a  very  poor  showing  because  most  of  our 
material  was  green  and  were  not  used  to  playing  Coach  Ball's  type  of  football.  Al- 
though the  score  seems  small.  Palmer  never  threatened  score  for  Stockbridge;  held 
them  in  the  center  of  the  field  most  of  the  game.  We  finally  got  organized  and 
marched  down  the  field  and  scored.  Hueg  took  the  ball  over  from  the  three-yard 
line.     He  also  rushed  over  the  extra  point. 

82 


(3^  The-  1930  -  Sliorthorii  fd 

October  18 — Conn.  Aggie  Frosh  13,  Stockbridge  0 

We  entertained  Conn.  Aggie  Frosh  but  with  no  avail.  We  outplayed  them  in 
the  first  half  and  were  in  the  shadows  of  their  goal  posts  most  of  the  time,  but  failed 
to  have  that  last  punch  to  put  over  the  ball. 

The  second  half  was  a  different  story  for  they  had  strengthened  after  a  little 
talk  from  their  coach.  The  teams  played  evenly  the  third  period  until  at  the  begin- 
ning of  the  fourth  period  one  of  their  men  caught  a  long  forward  pass  and  raced 
down  the  field  30  yards  to  make  a  touchdown.  After  that  our  team  blew  up  and 
started  playing  loosely  until  late  in  that  period  they  ran  back  a  punt  fifty  yards 
for  a  touchdown. 

October  25 — Wilbraham  6,  Stockbridge  7 

After  a  few  practices  our  team  finally  hit  its  stride  and  started  working  together. 

We  took  a  short  trip  to  Wilbraham  which  proved  very  successful.  This  was 
the  best  team  we  met  during  the  season  and  we  played  our  best  game  as  the  score 
shows.  We  held  them  many  times  when  they  were  ready  to  score.  This  was  done 
mostly  by  Orsanen  who  played  both  sides  of  our  line  and  baffling  the  Wilbraham 
backfield.  When  they  saw  a  nice  hole  in  their  line,  so  did  Okanen  and  he  filled  it 
with  his  two-hundred  pounds. 

They  finally  scored  on  us  in  the  fourth  period  but  missed  their  try  for  point 
after  the  touchdown.  On  the  next  kick  off  Ed  Hill  received  the  ball  and  ran  60 
yards  down  the  field  only  to  be  tackled  8  yards  from  the  goal  line.  In  two  plays 
we  put  the  ball  over  and  made  our  point  after  the  touchdown. 


November  1 — Amherst  Frosh  0 — Stockbridge  7 

Amherst  Frosh  came  down  to  play  us  which  was  more  or  less  a  practice  game, 
but  we  didn't  consider  it  so.  We  played  hard  and  clean  football  constantly  gaining 
through  their  line.  We  made  one  grand  march  down  the  field  and  scored  the  only 
touchdown  of  the  game. 

Everyone  played  his  hardest  because  we  wanted  to  be  one  Aggie  team  that 
beat  Amherst. 

November  9 — Pittsfield  High  0 — Stockbridge  21 

We  journeyed  to  Pittsfield  and  took  this  game  with  ease.  Our  superior  weight 
won  the  game  for  us  without  much  effort. 


November  16 — Keene  Normal  School  6,  Stockbridge  7 

Another  interesting  game  was  with  Keene  as  the  score  indicates.  They  scored 
first  on  a  forward  pass  but  missed  their  try  for  point  after  touchdown.  A  little 
later  Stockbridge  tightened  up  and  marched  down  the  field  for  their  touchdown  and 
made  the  point  after  touchdown  giving  a  one  point  margin.

November  22 — Deerfield  Academy  13,  Stockbridgb  7 

This  was  our  final  game  of  the  season,  the  one  we  had  been  looking  forward  to 
and  it  proved  to  be  a  very  good  game.  Stockbridge  scored  first  but  Deerfield  came 
back  with  a  strong  forward  passing  attack  and  scored  their  first  touchdown.  The 
teams  battled  hard  and  Stockbridge  was  always  threatening  to  score.  At  the  begin- 
ning of  the  fourth  period  Deerfield  scored  after  a  series  of  line  plays  which  spelled 
our  defeat.     The  boys  played  their  best  and  gave  all  they  had. 

Even  though  we  lost  our  objective  game,  we  finished  our  schedule  with  a  very 
good  showing  by  winning  five  out  of  seven  games.  We  scored  49  points  to  our 
opponents'  25.     We  are  looking  forward  to  '31  to  have  a  more  successful  season. 

Floyd  "Ducky"  Wheaton  was  elected  captain  and  Ernest  Petersen  manager  for 
next  season. 

Letters  were  awarded  to  Captain  Edwin  Hill  of  Gardner;  Arne  Oksanen  of 
Fitchburg,  Harold  Durkin,  Waltham;  Kenneth  Leonard,  Abington;  Lincoln  White,

'  I  ^HE  large  number  reporting  for  basketball  made  it  necessary  for  Coach  Ball  to 
-'-  form  two  squads.  The  first  squad  consisted  of  Capt.  Coyle,  White,  Boardman, 
Baker,  Wittington,  Moulten,  Smith,  Andrews,  Griffin,  Lee,  Mongillo,  Lewis,  Bower 
and  Hill. 

The  schedule  was  opened  Jan.  13  by  defeating  Arms  Academy  27  to  17  on  the 
Arms  court  at  Shelburne  Falls.  Bower,  Boardman  and  White  starred  for  Stock- 
bridge  gathering  in  21  of  the  27  points.  The  game  was  well  played  and  showed  a 
promise  for  a  good  team. 

Palmer  High  School  defeated  Stockbridge  35-15  at  Palmer  on  Jan.  21.  The 
team  could  not  get  either  offensively  or  defensively  in  the  first  half  and  Palmer  led 
27  to  6.  In  the  second  half  the  defense  tightened  and  they  outscored  their  oppon- 
ents 9  to  8  with  Bower  scoring  13  baskets. 

Jan.  28  another  victory  was  added  by  defeating  Amherst  High,  in  a  well  played 
game  on  the  Drill  Hall  floor,  by  the  score  of  21  to  17.  Stockbridge  took  the  lead 
from  the  start  led  by  White  and  Boardman  who  tallied  six  points  apiece,  and  was 
on  the  larger  end  of  a  13  to  9  score  at  the  end  of  the  half.  Shortly  after  the  start  of 
the  second  half  Amherst  rallied  and  took  the  lead  14  to  13.  However,  the  lead  was 
short  for  Baker  tallied  three  double  deckers,  placing  Stockbridge  in  the  lead  and 
on  the  winning  side  at  the  close  of  the  game. 

Turners  Falls  High  defeated  Stockbridge  16  to  6  Jan.  30  on  the  Drill  Hall  floor. 
Baskets  by  Baker  and  White  kept  Stockbridge  in  the  lead  during  the  first  quarter

(3|  The-  1930  -  Sliortliorii 

and  at  the  end  of  the  first  half  Turners  Falls  led  by  but  7  to  6.  During  the  second 
half  Stockbridge  failed  to  score  and  Turners  Falls  substantially  increased  their  lead. 
The  game  was  quite  rough  and  fouls  numerous. 

Feb.  4  Easthampton  High  came  from  behind  in  the  second  half  of  a  hard  fought 
game  at  the  Drill  Hall,  to  win  31  to  20.  Stockbridge  lead  at  the  end  of  the  first  half 
17  to  15,  due  to  good  shooting  by  Baker  and  White.  In  the  scond  half  the  Stock- 
bridge  defense  cracked  and  Easthampton  scored  16  points  while  Stockbridge  added 
but  3  to  their  total. 

Feb.  11  the  Stockbridge  quintet  defeated  Smith  Academy  25  to  17.  Stock- 
bridge  presented  a  strong  offense  and  defense  so  that  at  the  half  they  were  on  the 
large  end  of  a  14  to  5  score.  In  the  second  half  Smith  Academy  rallied  and  made  a 
game  effort  to  overhaul  the  Stockbridge  lead  but  Stockbridge  raised  their  early 
advantage  to  win.  Boardman  played  a  very  good  game  and  added  materially  to 
the  score  by  tossing  in  six  baskets. 

Feb.  14  Stockbridge  took  the  Sacred  Hearts  of  Holyoke  into  camps  31  to  27. 
During  the  first  half  although  the  offense  and  defense  functioned  well,  the  game  was 
slow  and  uninteresting.  Stockbridge  had  everything  their  own  way  so  far  as  scor- 
ing goes,  amassing  15  points  to  their  opponents'  6.  Boardman  and  Baker  played 
well  and  did  much  to  keep  their  team  in  the  lead.  During  the  second  half  the  game 
became  faster  with  Sacred  Hearts  passing  continuously.  With  Boardman  out  of  the 
game  on  fouls  the  Blue  and  White  were  hard  put  to  keep  their  lead. 

Stockbridge  journeyed  to  Suffield,  Conn.,  Feb.  19  and  met  a  25  to  13  defeat  at 
the  hands  of  the  Suffield  School.  During  the  first  half  Stockbridge  played  well  and 
outplayed  their  opponents  more  than  their  9  to  8  lead  seems  to  show.  However, 
Suffield  rallied  in  the  final  half,  played  a  fast  and  skilful  game  and  held  Stockbridge 
to  four  points.     Boardman  and  White  played  a  very  good  game  for  Stockbridge. 

Smith  School  of  Northampton  were  defeated  21  to  15  on  Feb.  25  at  the  Drill 
Hall.  Stockbridge  took  the  lead  from  the  start  and  were  never  headed.  The 
game  was  snappy  and  hard  fought.  Stockbridge  was  on  the  top  of  a  12  to  7  score 
at  half-time.  During  the  second  half  Baker  and  White  kept  the  team  in  the  lead. 
Baker- and  White  starred  with  eleven  and  six  points  respectively.  Boardman  and 
Coyle  also  showed  up  well  on  the  floor  and  added  two  points  each  to  the  final  score. 

Feb.  28  the  Stockbridge  quintet  completed  their  schedule  by  taking  the  Middle- 
bury  Pre  Med.  into  camp  17  to  10.  The  game  was  slow,  quite  rough  and  not  very 
interesting  to  watch.  Both  teams  presented  a  fair  defense  and  missed  baskets  time 
and  again.  However,  Stockbridge  was  easily  the  better  team  and  showed  up  well 
as  compared  to  their  opponents.  Boardman,  Baker,  and  White  who  have  played 
so  well  all  season  starred  for  Stockbridge.  Baker  shot  4  baskets,  Boardman  sunk  2 
doubledeckers  and  2  fouls,  and  White  tallied  once.  The  floor  work  of  the  three  was 
expecially  worthy  of  note. 

The  season  was  fairly  successful  winning  6  and  losing  4.  Due  to  the  large 
turnout  of  Freshmen  and  3  lettermen  Coach  Ball  has  prospects  of  a  fine  tem  next 
year.     The  team  will  be  led  by  Ed  Boardman  captain  and  manager. 

The  letter  men  are  Capt.  Joseph  Henry  Coyle,  Somerville;  C.  F.  Smith, 
Holyoke;  John  J.  White,  Fall  River;  Edgar  Boardman,  Sheffield ;  Lawrence  Baker, 
East  Bridgewater;  Charles  P.  Whittington,  New  York  City;  Arthur  J.  Cutrumbes, 
Dracut,  Mass.

'T^HE  hockey  candidates  reported  to  Coach  McGeoch  soon  after  their  return  from 
-'-  Christmas  vacation.     A  large  squad  reported,  but  the  team  was  handicapped, 
due  to  its  lack  of  experience.     Ralph  Brown  was  chosen  Captain  and  Richard  Lee 
appointed  Manager. 

Deerfield  2,  Stockbridge  0 
We  opened  our  season  with  Deerfield  Academy  on  our  home  rink.     In  spite  of 
lack  of  practice  our  men  put  up  a  fairly  good  exhibition,  holding  our  strong  oppon- 
ents down  to  two  goals. 

HoLYOKE  2,  Stockbridge  4 
In  second  game  we  defeated  a  weaker  team.     The  coach  used  numerous  substi- 
tutes and  the  team  showed  up  well  as  a  whole.     Our  opponents  fought  hard  to  come 
back  in  the  last  period  but  our  team  was  not  to  be  denied  a  victory. 

Gushing  3,  Stockbridge  0 
This  was  to  be  our  first  trip  to  Ashburnham,  but  due  to  poor  ice,  the  game  was 
played  on  our  home  rink.     During  this  game  our  forward  line  worked  to  perfection, 
but  due  to  a  few  unlucky  breaks  and  their  good  goal  tender  we  failed  to  score.

Greenfield  5,  Stockbridgb  1 
Our  first  trip  was  a  game  with  Greenfield  at  Springfield.     The  team  played  its 
customary  type  of  clean  hockey,  but  we  couldn't  progress  against  the  type  of  play 
used  by  our  opponents.     The  game  was  exceptionally  fast  and  our  men  showed  up 
wonderfully  well. 

WiLLISTON    4,    StOCKBEIDGE    1 

A  trip  to  Easthampton  and  another  fast  game  with  Wilhston.  The  team  voted 
this  game  as  our  best  exhibition.  The  result  was  uncertain  until  the  last  five  min- 
utes when  our  defence  collapsed  and  Wilhston  scored  three  goals.  The  opposing 
goalie  had  the  misfortune  to  be  hit  in  the  eye  by  one  of  Captain  Brown's  sizzUng 
shots  just  as  the  whistle  blew  ending  the  game. 

Greenfield  6,  Stockbridge  1 
A  return  game  with  Greenfield  and  our  first  evening  game.     Our  team  took  the 
lead  immediately  when  Durkin  scored  with  a  low  skimmer,  which  the  goalie  hasn't 
seen  yet.     In  the  second  and  third  period  our  opponents  scored  at  will  with  shots 
that  came  by  way  of  the  air  route. 

M.  A.  C.  Freshmen  0,  Stockbridge  3 
In  a  practice  game  on  the  "Aggie"  pond  rink  our  team  defeated  the  Freshmen. 
After  a  scoreless  first  period,  we  made  a  few  changes  in  the  defense,  and  our  forward 
line  began  to  score  We  scored  three  goals  while  holding  the  Freshmen  scoreless. 
The  game  was  most  satisfactory  as  it  was  the  only  defeat  for  the  Freshmen  during 
the  season. 

Wilbraham  8,  Stockbridge  1 
In  this  game  we  were  completely  outclassed.     The  whole  team  worked  hard 
but  we  couldn't  keep  up  to  the  pace  set  by  our  visitors.     Al  Shats  scored  on  a  sola 
dash  through  the  entire  team  and  one  of  the  neatest  goals  of  the  season. 

WiLLisTON  5,  Stockbridge  0 

A  final  game  played  in  a  blinding  snowstorm,  resulted  in  our  final  defeat.  We 
were  handicapped  by  poor  ice,  a  slightly  disorganized  team. 

Prospects  are  good  for  a  strong  team  next  year  as  only  four  men  are  lost  through 
graduation.     Ralph  Henry  was  elected  and  Purdy  was  chosen  manager. 

Insignia  were  awarded  to  Captain  Ralph  L.  Brown  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H., 
Judson  W.  Hastings  of  Agawam,  Harold  Durkin  of  Waltham,  Sanborn  A.  Caldwell 
of  Lynnfield,  Alfred  F.  Warren  of  Medford,  Richard  G.  Lewis  of  Framingham, 
Henry  S.  Murray  of  Concord,  Ralph  Henry  of  Maiden,  and  Richard  H.  Lee  of 
Northampton,  manager.

-^  *■  tice  was  held  and  the  team  developed  in  a  very  satisfactory  rnanner. 

In  the  interclass  track  meet  Stockbridge  '30  won  second  place  with  a  score  of 
48J  points.     The  freshmen  won  fifth  place  with  a  score  of  7  points. 

After  the  satisfactory  showing  in  the  interclass  meet  the  athletic  department 
approved  the  scheduling  of  a  dual  meet  with  Deerfield  High.  Stockbridge  easily

THE  Stookbridge  Glee  Club  is  still  a  young  organization,  since  it  has  only  been  in  existence  two 
years.  It  is  nevertheless  an  active  one,  and  is  becoming  more  so  from  year  to  year.  The  truth 
of  this  statement  is  brought  out  by  the  fact  that  the  Stockbridge  co-eds  have  seen  fit  to  ask  for 
membership  into  the  "Club,"  and  have  been  gladly  admitted  as  a  welcome  addition,  since  their 
soft  voices  greatly  influence  the  harmony  of  the  voices. 

To  those  who  have  any  musical  talent,  and  wish  to  cultivate  it,  the  Glee  Club  will  be  found  a 
great  aid,  since  it  is  under  excellent  supervision  and  is  very  well  financed.  Then  too,  it  is  one  of 
the  few  cultural  groups  among  the  Stockbridge  organization  and  we  sincerely  hope  that  many  will 
avail  themselves  of  its  opportunities  and  benefits  in  the  years  to  come. 

The  members  of  the  Glee  Club  all  wish  to  extend  their  sincere  thanks  and  appreciation  to  Mr. 
Marc  Parlow  for  his  excellent  and  talented  supervision,  and  hope  that  he  will  continue  to  be  with 
them  in  the  coming  years.  They  are  also  very  grateful  to  Director  Verbeck  for  giving  them  an 
opportunity  to  display  their  ability  in  several  concerts  given  as  a  part  of  the  chapel  program.  The 
Club  is  also  indebted  to  Mr.  Harry  Purdy  for  his  efforts  and  successful  mustering  together  a  very 
interested  Glee  Club.     We  hope  Mr.  Purdy  will  continue  the  good  work  in  1931.

1\ /TANY  of  our  Stockbridge  students  are  taking  active  part 
-'-  ~  -^  in  some  of  the  college  organizations.  One  of  the  new- 
est of  these  is  the  college  4-H  Club  known  as  the  "K.  O."  Club. 
Each  year  prominent  club  members  from  all  corners  of  the 
state  are  coming  to  M.  A.  C,  having  learned  throughout  their 
years  in  club  work  what  the  state  college  offers  them.  Many 
of  these  students  are  enrolled  in  our  Stockbridge  School  and 
are  preparing  themselves  to  carry  on  in  some  specialized 
field  of  agriculture,  the  interest  in  which  started  when  they 
were  youngsters  in  club  work  back  on  their  own  farms. 

The  K.  0.  Club  has  been  in  existence  for  several  years  as  a 
club  for  girls  formerly  4-H  Club  members,  but  this  year  the 
boys  were  asked  to  join  and  we  now  have  more  former  club 
boys  in  the  college  4-H  Club  than  girls.  About  one-third  of 
the  members  of  the  club  are  Stockbridge  Students.  Doris 
Feltham,  '30  is  president  of  the  organization  and  other 
Stockbridge  members  are: — Margarite  Bancroft,  Charlotte 
Milner,  Edgar  Boardman,  George  Burkhardt,  Francis  Fen- 
ton,  Charles  Duponte,  William  Greene,  Richard  Kellogg, 
G.  F.  Watts,  Alfred  Shats,  Samuel  Chapin,  and  Harold

T 1 /"E  the  class  of  1930  take  great  pride  in  being  termed  as 
'  '  the  most  oustanding  class  ever  to  be  graduated  from  the 
Stockbridge  School  of  Agriculture.  From  our  entry  in  1928 
we  have  accomplished  things  unheard  of  prior  to  our  day. 
Having  been  so  outstanding  during  our  stay  here  we  have  all 
reason  to  believe  that  we  will  continue  to  be  so  as  we  journey 
thru  life.  If  we  but  bear  in  mind  a  small  portion  of  the 
knowledge  that  has  been  put  before  us,  as  well  as  benefit  by 
our  contacts  with  our  fellow  classmates  we  surely  will  con- 
tinue to  progress.  We  all  have  had  many  experiences  both 
beneficial  and  disastrous,  but  if  we  have  learned  thru  our 
experiences  we  have  gained  much.  As  we  leave  the  campus, 
many  of  us  for  the  last  time,  we  realize  that  it  has  meant 
much  to  us,  and  if  we  have  obtained  nothing  more  than  a 
knowledge  of  human  nature  our  time  has  not  been  wasted.

Reads  Newspaper  on  100th  Birthday 

Gorham  N.  H.  Feb.  10,  2008.  Charlie  Pea- 
body,  owner  of  the  Sunkist  Greenhouse,  spent 
his  100th  birthday  quietly  at  home  reading 
his  paper.  He  arose  early  as  is  his  custom  and 
after  breakfast,  sauntered  around  the  garden 
as  was  his  custom  and  finally  retired  to  his 
favorite  arm  chair  to  read  his  paper 

He  was  much  interested  in  an  article  which 
told  of  Kenneth  Leonard,  a  classmate  of  his 
at  Stockbridge,  who  was  celebrating  his  75th 
wedding  anniversary.  Mr  Peabody  at  once 
telegraphed  his  sincerest  wishes.

known  for  his  work  among  the  poor  and  for 
his  efforts  to  clean  up  the  saloons  of  Shrews- 
bury. 

University  Man  Attains  Record 

Littlegrass,  N.  H.  April  1,  1999.  What  is 
believed  to  be  the  most  outstanding  achieve- 
ment of  the  kind  in  the  world  has  been  attain- 
ed by  Earle  B.  Mosher  a  former  student  of 
Stockbridge  University.  Mr.  Mosher  has 
attended  three  or  more  Church  services  every 
Sunday  since  his  childhood,  and  according  to 
his  own  statement  at  his  home  this  morning  he 
expects  to  follow  his  footsteps  for  the  rest  of 
his  childhood.  Mr.  Mosher  states  that  his 
success  is  due  chiefly  to  the  start  that  he  re- 
ceived at  morning  chapel  while  at  the  Univer- 
sity.

erously presented  to  their  alma  mater.  It  will 
be  called  the  Worthington-Mann  Gym,  in 
honor  of  the  donors  and  fill  a  long  needed 
vacancy  which  up  to  this  time  had  no  hopes 
of  fulfillment. 

Feet  Worth  $5,000

Life  Insurance  Co.,  issued  a  policy  today  in- 
suring the  feet  of  Arne  Oksanen  for  $5000.

to  have  his  feet  insured.  He  may  collect  the 
$5000  if  any  injury  should  impare  his  feet  so 
that  he  could  not  clog.  Mr.  Oksanen  is  in- 
structor of  clogging  and  has  his  studio  on 
Hillside  Ave.

alias  "Gentleman  Bootlegger",  and  E.  Stanley

auction. 

Former  Rum  Runner  brings  high  Price

Cocktail"  once  king  of  the  fleet  of  rum  runners 
was  sold  today  at  auction  for  $38,000.  The 
gentlemen  who  bought  this  palatial  yacht 
were  none  other  than  Jason  Hill,  owner  of 
Hillstead  Farms  and  Clinton  Woodward  co- 
owners  of  the  Raider  farms.  They  plan  to 
repair  the  vessel  and  cruise  along  the  coast 
when  their  jobs  become  monotonous,  it  is  well 
to  note  that  they  were  classmates  at  the 
Stockbridge  School  of  Agriculture.

remarkable  discoveries  in  the  chicken  world. 
The  actual  results  of  their  trip  are  awaited 
with  interest.

ventional society  may  be  absolved  into  a  great 
"back  to  nature"  movement.

Carlon    and    Chadwick    Indicted    by 
Grand  Jury 

Boston,  Feb.  16,  1943.  John  J.  Carlon  and 
Richard  Chadwick  sons  of  prominent  busi- 
ness men  m  Northampton  and  Boxford,  were 
today  indicted  by  the  Grand  Jury  for  conduct- 
ing a  correspondence  designed  to  bring  to- 
gether young  couples  desiring  to  marry.  Ac- 
cording to  evidence,  they  have  mailing  lists  of 
all  important  cities,  writing  passionate  letters 
to  all  young  women  explaining  their  methods 
and  endeavoring  to  have  them  call  at  one  of 
the  apartments,  where  they  always  had  an 
ample  supply  of  young  men.  It  seems  that 
many  innocent  girls  were  led  astray  by  this 
means  since  their  business  flourished  so  widely 
and  popularly.

as  the  strongest  man  in  the  world,  drew

to  keep  the  traffic  moving.  Knight  is  per- 
forming at  the  Hippodrome  where  last  night 
he  broke  the  world's  record  for  weight  lifting. 

New  York  Stock  Show   Closes  with 
Award  of  Prizes 

New  York,  Jan.  6,  1951.  The  Annual 
Stock  Show,  which  has  occupied  Madison 
Square  Garden  for  the  past  week,  closed 
tonight  with  the  award  of  prizes  to  respective 
animals: 

"Black  Beauty"  owned  by  Richard  M. 
Kinsman  of  Middleboro,  Mass.,  was  given  the 
silver  cup  for  being  the  best  pig  in  the  1500  lb. 
class.  This  pig  has  the  distinctiom  of  winning 
over  fifty  prizes  in  the  last  three  years  and

was  given  to  "Petite  Joe",  owned  by  Helen 
Gottfried  of  Tyran,  North  Carolina,  for  being 
the  most  perfect  goat  in  the  show

Mass.  were  awarded  the  Gold  trophy  donated 
by  the  Geographic  Society  for  the  Model

throughout  the  States. 

Holds  Most  Dangerous  Job  in  World 

New  York  Jan.  3,  1960.  It  is  believed  that 
Edwin  Milligan  of  Groveland,  Mass.,  holds 
the  most  dangerous  job.  He  is  keeper  of  the 
Lion  House  at  the  300  and  after  10  years  of  the 
tasks,  admits  that  it  may  be  rather  risky  to 
life  and  limb.  Mr  Milligan  cannot  be  accused 
of  holding  this  job  for  the  thrill  in  it  for  he  is 
now  turning  the  ripe  old  age  of  75,  when  thrills 
are  over  and  a  good  three  "squares"  are  more 
satisfactory.  He  says  he  hopes  to  hold  the 
job  for  the  rest  of  his  life,  barring  accidents. 


Mr.  Burkhardt  Popular  Bedtime  Story 
Teller  at  X.  Y.  Z. 

_  Worcester,  Mass.  Sept.  10,  1963.  The  eve- 
ning program  at  Station  X  Y  Z  has  been 
enhanced  during  the  last  month  by  Mr.  Geo. 
E.  Burkhardt,  who  narrates  wonderful  bed- 
time stories  each  evening  at  7:00  for  the  bene- 
fit of  the  youngsters  among  his  listeners.  His 
stories  are  full  of  such  wonderful  places  and 
people,  and  told  in  such  a  charming  way  and 
lovely  manner  that  the  kiddies  are  easily 
lured  off  to  bed.  After  hearing  his  soft  voice 
Mr.  Burkhardt's  popularity  with  the  children 
is  undeniable  as  he  has  received  hundreds  of 
letters  since  he  began  and  has  to  apologize 
each  evening  for  not  having  had  time  to  an- 
swer all  he  would  like  to.  It  is  probable  that 
he  gained  his  winning  ways  from  his  own 
family  of  which  there  are  six,  4  boys  and  2 
girls,  who  by  the  way  are  twins.. 

Messrs.  Shats  and  Taylor  Retire  from 
Head  of  the  Cooperation  Oil  Company 

Houston,  Texas,  Dec.  4,  1963.  Messrs  E. 
Fernald  Taylor  and  Alfred  Shats  announced 
their  retirement  from  the  Cooperative  Oil 
Company  yesterday  and  plan  to  occupy  their 
beautiful  homes  on  the  Connecticut  river  near 
Amherst.  Both  Mr.  Taylor  and  Shats 
made  their  money  in  a  spectacular  oil  venture 
3  years  ago.  They  bought  land  in  Texas  and 
after  sinking  over  200  holes  for  oil  with  no 
success,  they  began  a  new  line  of  business  by 
Cutting  up  the  holes  in  3-foot  lengths  and  sell- 
ing them  to  farmers  for  post  holes.

Action  for  Separation  from  her  Husband 

Buffalo,  N.  Y.  Oct.  t4, 19-58.  Charging  cruelty 
and  desertion,  Mrs.  W.  R.  Lewis,  the  former 
chorus  girl,  began  her  suit  for  separation  from 
Walden  P.  Lewis,  wealthy  rose  grower  of  this 
city.  They  have  been  married  three  years  and 
it  comes  as  a  suprise  to  their  many  friends, 
as  it  was  always  thought  they  were  an  ideal 
couple.  In  an  interview  this  morning,  Mrs. 
W.  R.  Lewis  declares  that  her  husband  has  a 
terrible  temper  and  often  beats  her,  and  that 
for  the  past  six  months  she  has  not  known 
his  whereabouts. 

Count  Messier  found  Raising  Poultry 
at  North  Adams,  Mass. 

North  Adams,  Mass.  Aug.  29,  1949.  Count 
Wm.  E.  Messier  who  disappeared  from  Italy, 
some  time  ago,  was  found  while  tending  his 
flock  of  fancy  poultry  at  North  Adams.  Count 
Messier,  an  American,  became  a  count  when 
he  married  the  Countess  Italyano  of  Italy  in 
1930.  He  was  heir  apparent  to  the  Italian 
throne  when  he  was  lost  sight  of  and  a 
world  wide  search  was  made  for  him.  He  will 
return  to  his  wife  and  six  children  at  once, 
he  told  reporters.

spectators  desiring  a  glimpse  of  the  notorious

expected  to  be  a  guest. 

Incidently  it  is  rumored  that  they  are 
engaged.

here  today  took  into  custody  Christopher

of  the  mob  which  destroyed  the  dry  dock 
yesterday,  throwing  a  bomb  at  the  police,  who 
were  sent  to  control  the  situation,  killing  three 
of  them.  Richard  Tracy  another  agitator

convention  of  the  Country  Peoples'  Associa- 
tion being  held  here,  elected  the  following 
officers  last  night.  These  men  will  hold  office 
through  the  coming  year.  Henry  Zimmerman 
of  Auburn,  Mass.,  president,  Sarah  Mintz  of 
Gloucester  was  unanimously  elected  vice  presi- 
dent. Norman  Quick  of  West  Springfield 
barely  won  out  over  Ed  Godin  of  Hatfield,  for 
treasurer,  and  Betty  Sherman  of  Marshfield 
easily  became  secretary.  Agnes  Tamm  of 
Astoria,  N.  Y.,  retained  her  office  of  corres- 
ponding secretary,   but   Everett   Dimock  of 


Oxford  takes  over  the  duties  of  visiting  agent.

considerably  the  presidential  hopes  founded 
by  Clinton  Roberts,  the  great  "milking  king" 
of  Conn. 

New  Contract  Given  for  Snow 
Removal 

The  removal  of  snow  m  the  town  of  Amherst 
will  be  done  by  the  Ziomek  and  Holt  contract- 
ing company.  The  change  is  one  which  is 
desirable  to  all  inhabitants  of  the  town,  as  the 
Barr  and  Morrill  contracting  company  was 
unable  to  cope  with  the  situation  last  winter, 
due  to  the  fact  that  it  did  not  have  enough 
trucks  and  tractors.  The  Ziomek  and  Holt 
Co.,  was  brought  to  the  attention  of  the  town 
two  years  ago,  when  it  was  called  in  to  aid  the 
Barr  and  Morrill  Company  in  removing  the 
snow  after  the  blizzard  which  was  said  to  be 
the  worst  since  the  storm  of  '30.

^0  potential  Enockers; 

The  pages  of  this  book  you've  now  perused, 
You've  frowned  at  things  we  thought  were  funny, 
You've  cried  and  do  not  seem  amused, 
You  don't  think  you've  the  worth  of  your  money. 

But  we've  done  our  best,  which  is  all  we  could  do, 
We've  strived  many  nights  to  succeed. 
And  now  we  are  asking  a  favor  of  you. 
That  you  sit,  ponder,  criticize,  yet  read. 

Our  book  is  not  perfect,  we  could  not  have  such. 
There's  perhaps  a  mistake  in  each  letter. 
But  the  opinions  of  knockers  are  never  worth  much, 
So  we  ask  could  you  have  done  better?
